Kaithi-2

Kaithi, starring Karthi and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, was a solid blockbuster. The film, which is part of the Lokesh Kanagaraj Cinematic Universe (LCU), achieved cult status in a short time, and a sequel was officially announced at the end. Without an iota of doubt, Kaithi 2 is one of the most-awaited sequels in South Indian cinema.

However, Lokesh has not kept his word yet, with the project getting continuously delayed. A new image has now surfaced on social media, shocking movie buffs. As per it, a Tamil film titled Dilli has had its teaser censored with a duration of 30 seconds. Here comes the most surprising part: Dilli is also being produced by Dream Warrior Pictures, the makers of Kaithi.

Dilli is Karthi’s character name in the film, and hence, netizens are now wondering whether Dilli is connected to Kaithi 2 or if it is a standalone project. There are also doubts about whether the production house moved ahead without Lokesh Kanagaraj, as the star director is currently busy with multiple projects. An official word from the makers will bring clarity.
